Chapter 139: Factory

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Yu Bing happened to meet Wu Jin in front of the office building. “Village Chief, I just went to the village and realized that there’s an empty adobe house a few hundred meters away from the village committee’s office. That house is quite big. It looks to be two to three hundred square meters. There’s also empty space around it suitable for future expansion. I think it’s the perfect space to build a factory building! It’s just that the road in front of the house is a little narrow. It has to be wide enough to accommodate two cars.”
Wu Jin frowned and looked in the direction Yu Bing was pointing. He was enlightened and said, “Oh, I know the area you’re talking about!”
“That house is quite good. The office of the old regime was there. At that time, in order to differentiate from the old regime, they wanted to tear it down and rebuild it. However, the house there is quite good, so we couldn’t bear to tear it down and chose a new location here. Since you like it, I’ll get the old builder in the village to go with you to see the safety of the overall structure. If there’s no problem, we’ll settle there.” ...
Yu Bing agreed readily. “Alright! Send me someone. I’ll bring people to sort it out in the next few days.”
Although the empty tiled house had not been used for more than twenty years, fortunately, the structure was safe.
Yu Bing asked the old master to bring more than ten experienced people to divide the large tiled house into two rooms. In the empty space beside it, a 100-square-meter red brick tiled house was built as a warehouse.
Then, they would apply a layer of plaster powder on all the walls of the factory and it would be done!
In order to increase the safety of the factory, the entire factory and the empty space in front were surrounded by a large circular wall. As for the big iron gate at the entrance of the factory, it was temporarily put on hold because there weren’t enough funds. Anyway, the door of the factory was locked. When there were goods, someone would be on duty at night.
When Yu Bing went to the brick factory in the neighboring village to pull bricks, due to Wu Jin’s reputation for buying goods on credit, the village chief said that he would only give them the bricks when he received the money.
At this time, the red brick cost 0.02 yuan a piece. The budget for building the house was less than 200 yuan. It didn’t cost much, so Yu Bing didn’t intend to buy it on credit. However, she still tried to save as much money as she could. She forced the other party to give her a discount. The original price was 186.3 yuan, but the final price was 180 yuan.
There was strength in numbers. In three days, the factory was built according to the requirements.
Wu Jin had been busy organizing the villagers to prepare for spring plowing these few days, while Yu Bing brought her disciples to expand the road. At the same time, she arranged for six agile women to clean the factory.
In addition, Yu Bing also had to take care of the orchard. The kiwi and persimmon trees had already reached planting season. Over the past few days, her disciples had taken turns pulling the saplings up the mountain in batches from the Agriculture Bureau. Yu Bing arranged for people to plant them in the orchard and monitored the progress.
She only arranged ten people for the management of the kiwi tree.
However, there were many persimmon trees, and they were alone on the small hill. Yu Bing arranged for 15 people to manage them. The people in charge of each type of fruit tree were the batch of people who were arranged to participate in training at the Agriculture Bureau.
Feng Cai had already pulled the machine back, so Yu Bing focused on the factory.
The factory had been cleaned and the water and electricity were functioning.
Yu Bing even asked the carpenter in the village to make a wooden sign saying “Delicious Food Processing Factory” and hang it on the wall of the factory. The factory was almost ready now, so Wu Jin took the time to go to the factory to take a look.
As soon as he entered the factory, Wu Jin saw a simple staff changing room on the left side of the entrance.
Although it was impossible to completely build the food processing plant into a sterile production site like those of the future, Yu Bing still tried her best to standardize the management of the factory.
When the workers went to work, they had to change into uniforms in the changing room as soon as they entered the factory.
The factory’s work clothes were a long-sleeved shirt-style pocketless apron. The rope design behind it could be adjusted to fit one’s figure. The uniform reached one’s knees. Everyone had to wear a small white round hat to prevent their hair from falling into the food, since it would affect food hygiene and safety.
Therefore, no matter how tight the funds were, Yu Bing still took two yuan from Mr. Wei to buy the cheapest cloth. With a set of labor fees of 0.5 yuan, she subcontracted it to two aunties who were the best at making clothes in the village and made 14 sets of work clothes.
The requirement to wear work clothes was firstly to prevent employees from stealing them, and secondly, to look uniform and create a serious work atmosphere for employees, instead of letting them feel like they were in the comfort of their homes.
This was because the villagers had never worked in a food factory before. Once they relaxed, it was very easy for them to bring some of their bad hygiene habits to the factory. Yu Bing definitely wouldn’t allow this.
